Monday was the first day of school for both boys. Lauris is Year 3 and Markus started Reception Class. Whenever children are starting a new stage of education or reaching new milestone, I feel exited, but also emotional, because they are moving forward their lives and step by step leaving our family nest. The home is not any,ore enough for them, they need to start to see a life behind a fence, and it is a little bit sad. I know, I know, they are just in primary school and actually the school is just around the corner, but still… Again a new paragraph, we have two boys at full time school. Really nice and a little sad at the same time.

After school I asked both boys what they liked most about school today.

Markus liked:

Go to big school and wear school uniform. “Now I have my own bag.”

Play with Lauris at the playground. All Reception children who have siblings at school have a chance for a little while to play with them in a playground. I think it was very kind from school to organize it, so that Reception children feel more confident and secure at the first day of school.
